For new elementary school students (K-5), enrolling for the first time in Virginia, a report of a recent physical examination (done within one year) is required and parents must complete a health information form. (MCH-213E) The need for a physical examination does not apply to students entering secondary schools.

Immunizations Required
Children who have received at least one dose of each of the required vaccines may be conditionally enrolled. They must present a schedule from a physician for completing all required immunizations within ninety days.
Documentation (Part II of the School Entrance Health Form MCH 213F) indicating that the child has received the required immunizations must be provided. The required immunizations include (requirements are subject to change):

Diphtheria, Tetanus, & Pertussis (DTaP, DTP) - A minimum of 4 doses. A child must have at least one dose of DTaP or DTP vaccine on or after the fourth birthday.

Hepatitis B Vaccine - A complete series of 3 doses of hepatitis B vaccine is required for all children. However, the FDA has approved a 2-dose schedule ONLY for adolescents 11-15 years of age AND ONLY when the Merck Brand (RECOMBIVAX HB) Adult Formulation Hepatitis B Vaccine is used.

Human Papillomavirus Vaccine (HPV) - Effective October 1, 2008, a complete series of 3 doses of HPV vaccine is required for females.

Measles, Mumps, & Rubella (MMR) Vaccine - A minimum of 2 measles, 2 mumps, and 1 rubella.
